  • 30" diagonal or better
  • 160+ refresh, GSync
  • curved or not is fine
  • QD OLED
  • 16:9 preferred, but double-wides is fine if it has a mode that acts like two separate monitors
  • 1440p is OK, 2160p slightly preferred
  • $1500 budget max

 

There was the Gen3 Samsung sponsored video from a month ago, are monitors based on that out yet? Are there still brightness issues with the current QD OLED monitors?

 

Thanks, I appreciate your input.

So any new 4K 240Hz OLED from brands that announced them so far. They are yet to release in many places.

| Ryzen 7 7800X3D | AM5 B650 Aorus Elite AX | G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5 32GB 6000MHz C30 | Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 7900 XTX | Samsung 990 PRO 1TB with heatsink | Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 | Seasonic Focus GX-850 | Lian Li Lanccool III | Mousepad: Skypad 3.0 XL / Zowie GTF-X | Mouse: Zowie S1-C | Keyboard: Ducky One 3 TKL (Cherry MX-Speed-Silver) | Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Gen) | Acer XV272U | OS: Windows 11 |

I didn't include PC specs because ideally this monitor should last me through at least two and probably 3-4 major upgrades (4-10 years). It's not about the PC I have now, but what'll last me for a while in the future. For example, I have an NVIDIA 3060 which can't push 4k gaming at playable framerates... but I'll probably get a 50xx series card this year or next. I did specify GSync (not FreeSync) because I do like raytracing, I play with it regularly, and I'm OK locking myself to that brand. Almost all new monitors with GSync also have FreeSync as well anyway.

I haven't found a place that lists these, that's part of the problem.

here's the list,

i'd go for flat qd-oled and gloss, the msi options are the same panel and 200usd cheaper than the others whenever in stock.

 

gsync is unnecessary in 2024 imho

From the reviews I've seen so far the Asus seems to be the best monitor using the new 32" 4K QD-OLED panels from Samsung. The MSI one seems to be the best value.

 

 

 

 

 

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
